Shibata Household Happenings: December 2010
http://theshibatas.blogspot.com/2010_12_01_archive.html
Thursday, December 23, 2010. Joey is Two and Winter is Here. Despite all the fun things that have been going on (or perhaps because of them! I've been extremely delinquent at posting updates of the recent 'happenings.' I'll try to bring you up to speed before Christmas and before things really. Get out of hand! Excitement). It takes up a good bit of space in our living room, but it has become the focal point for the kids as they use it quite often. Marie has definitely been enjoying this season more this...

Shibata Household Happenings: February 2012
http://theshibatas.blogspot.com/2012_02_01_archive.html
Monday, February 20, 2012. The winter here in Michigan sure hasn't lived up the hype this year. We were all bracing for the worst when we were told last fall that it was going to be a bad one. We really haven't had a big storm that dumped a considerable amount at one time (knock on wood) and have just had a few instances of and inch or two accumulating. Dare I say that Joey is completely potty trained? Jon has been busy with work and with his course. It seems like this semester has been a bit less st...

Shibata Household Happenings: August 2011
http://theshibatas.blogspot.com/2011_08_01_archive.html
Monday, August 29, 2011. Chapter 3. Shut-down week. This year's road trip started with short drive to Canton, MI. On Friday, July 1, our Godson, Leo Benjamin (Rosie and Lilly's baby brother) was being baptized. Of course we couldn't miss that! PS - Thanks to Tabbatha Plomaritas. For the great pictures! The pool was refreshing and thoroughly enjoyed. Joey did get a couple of wasp stings, but after a bit of ice, he was as good as new. Even though we don't get to see Jon's aunts, uncles, and cousins...Needl...

Shibata Household Happenings: July 2012
http://theshibatas.blogspot.com/2012_07_01_archive.html
Sunday, July 29, 2012. Our Summer Trip to Pittsburgh. We took off on July 4th and drove to Ohio to spend a couple of days with Grandma and Grandpa Shibata. We enjoyed watching and flying Grandpa's remote control helicopter and airplane and a dip in the pool. Of course it wouldn't be a trip to Grandpa's house without a couple of rides on his golf cart. He was the only one brave enough. That evening we had a cookout with the cousins and Joey had his very first sleepover! Saturday, July 28, 2012. Marie no s...

Shibata Household Happenings: June Recap
http://theshibatas.blogspot.com/2012/07/june-recap.html
Saturday, July 28, 2012. It's hard to believe that August is almost upon us! I would ponder how fast time flies by, wonder how it has been so long since our last post, and give my excuse for how busy we've been, but I'm sure you are all in the same boat. Nuff said. Marie no sooner finished her kindergarten year than we started full steam ahead into our summer activities. (Stevie was also recovering from a fairly bad case of Hand, Foot, and Mouth disease, so a change of pace was warmly welcomed!

Shibata Household Happenings: May 2011
http://theshibatas.blogspot.com/2011_05_01_archive.html
Wednesday, May 18, 2011. Marie and Joey helped to plant some seeds in the basement quite some time ago. We ended up with more dirt in the containers than on the floor, so that was positive! All of the attention being paid to the asparagus seems to be paying off. We have noticed most of the crowns sprouting. Yay! So, that's what's been going on with us. We have started to make some plans for long weekend summer trips to see family. We've got three (at least) scheduled for June and July. Hopefu...We set ou...

Shibata Household Happenings: November 2011
http://theshibatas.blogspot.com/2011_11_01_archive.html
Sunday, November 27, 2011. I know I can't be the only one out there that just can't believe that Thanksgiving has come and gone already! Just when you think that time can't pass any faster, it does! Thankfully, we were able to find a way to enjoy the donuts and apple cider that was waiting for us when we got there! Joey will be turning three in just a short week! Sunday, November 20, 2011. Lions, Tigers, and Saints? Northville is known for their trick-or-treating and it is always a busy place. It too...

Tuesday, September 13, 2011. Chapter 5. Summer's End. Note: Re-posting due to technical difficulties with the video.hopefully it will work this time. For those of you that get these updates automatically, you may have to go to the blog. Itself (instead of reading it in your email) to watch the video at the end. Appeared. Then we introduced solid foods to him. He made the expected sour face the first couple of bites, but he has really taken off. It's as if we weren't feeding him! Sunday, September 11, 2011.

Shibata Household Happenings: May 2012
http://theshibatas.blogspot.com/2012_05_01_archive.html
Monday, May 21, 2012. There were lots of other significant things that went on during the last 3 months. I'm not sure how there wouldn't have been, with three young kids to keep track of. Enjoy the brief photographic retelling of what we've been doing! Making Lenten pretzels. Yummy! Flying kites on a windy day. Pictures from Stevie's 1-year sitting. Happy St. Patrick's Day, and Happy Birthday, Daddy! Lots of fun at Rosie's 6th birthday party! Other activities included painting Easter eggs, going to an Ea...
